Contrairement à la méthode NOAEL [no observed adverse effect level], dans laquelle un seul point de la courbe dose-effet sert de point de départ pour déterminer une valeur limite sûre, la méthode BMD ["benchmark dose", «dose repère» en français] tient compte de toutes les données de la courbe dose-effet dans le cadre d’une analyse mathématique et statistique afin d’évaluer quantitativement les risques. L'Agence américaine pour la protection de l'environnement(US-EPA : US Environmental Protection Agency) a développé la méthode BMD. À l'aide d’un modèle mathématique, on estime une dose(BMD : benchmark dose) qui, avec une certaine probabilité, entraîne un effet(BMR : benchmark-response). Lors de l'application de la méthode BMD, la question se pose de savoir quelle dose-réponse de référence("benchmark dose response", BMR) il convient d’autoriser, c'est-à-dire quel risque supplémentaire est jugé acceptable par rapport à la pollution de fond. Les valeurs BMR de 5 % et 10 % sont les plus fréquemment utilisées, selon qu'il s’agit d’effets continus(5 %) ou quantiques(10 %). 1, record 1, French, - dose%2Dr%C3%A9ponse%20de%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rence

L'ignorance pluraliste renvoie à une situation où les membres d’une société ignorent leur accord tacite sur une question. Dans ces conditions, une opinion minoritaire peut rencontrer une entente surprenante, créant l'impression d’une conversion majoritaire à la nouvelle opinion. E. Nöelle-Neumann(The Spiral of Silence, Public Opinion-Our social skin, Chicago, Chicago University Press, 1984) analyse ainsi la relation entre la perception de l'opinion majoritaire(que les individus croient majoritaire) et le consentement à exprimer l'opinion privée sur certains points. Ceux qui imaginent que leur opinion est contraire à l'opinion de la majorité supposée(et qui sont bien souvent les individus les plus défavorisés) préfèrent se taire, redoutant l'isolement social. Ils s’enfoncent dans le silence, ce qui donne une visibilité supplémentaire à la seule opinion publiquement exprimée. 1, record 3, French, - ignorance%20pluraliste
